About

In early eighteenth-century Germany, a widespread custom developed of performing a major choral work on Good Friday based on the Passion of Christ. During the few years separating the St John Passion (1723-24) from the St Matthew Passion (1727), Bach continued to develop his musical experience and added a number of innovations to his second great Passion. He created a fuller sound by introducing a third chorus and enhanced the variety of the recitative. This masterpiece by Bach brings the very long list of Passions in the history of music to a close. With a few exceptions, those which followed were no longer Passions in the liturgical sense as Bach understood it, but would blaze the trail for the oratorio form.
